M_Afro Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Interesting that the Bremen guy seems to think that C-19 has massively impacted the market. They are clearly a bit desperate but accepting of the obvious economic reality. I think this is why nothing is happening. Selling clubs are clinging on to the hope that someone will pay over the odds for their players. As the window nears a close those clubs will become more desperate. The last week could be like a massive fire sale! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am greatful we have such fantastic owners or we too would be massively shitting ourselves until October 5th.

It's so shit that the window goes on to the 5th of October—and reading the website it seems we can trade with EFL teams until the 16th of October (not sure if that is only one way). We could be waiting a while and we could be more or less the same team that struggled for the first few games. At least we have a week off at the start.

KenjiOgiwara Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 If you are to believe that KA dude with inside info is legit, Rashica clearly does not favour a move here. So at what point do you say 'enough' and move to alternatives? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if I had posted on this board last week that Villa have made a bid for Werder Breman Milot Rashica. Stacey Adams* in the ticket office told me that we have made a bid for him and he will be signed and then announced on Friday the 21st August 2020. Firstly, Rashica doesn't sign on Friday the 21st August and can you imagine the shit storm that would be going on in here right now? Secondly, Stacey gets her arse booted for the obvious reasons and I've risked her career and her losing her job and the press are all over the signing and announce it before Villa can do shit about it.. Or the scenario is that the player does eventually sign and Stacey still gets her arse kicked and sacked anyway for spilling the info to me in the first place which led it to being posted on a worldwide forum for everyone and their neighbour to see! I am pretty certain Stacey would prefer me to be a tease on a forum than a career ruining arsehole on a forum. If there was nothing to this I wouldn't have any other reason to have started this thread to begin with. Equally nobody knows what may or may not have been discussed with Mods on this or any other thread already and nor is it for me to discuss. I wonder do the Aston Villa hierarchy tell Jimmy who works in the canteen what players we are bidding for as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 One thing about this guy is strange, if he’s as good as he clearly thinks he is and available for only €25M, why is Leipzig the only CL qualified team considering him? Rashica might want the glamour of a CL run, but for week in week out quality of opposition the Prem’ is as good as it gets. On a professional level he shouldn’t need to think too hard about coming to us, if that’s indeed what motivates him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s strange that is just us and Leipzig in the running. It isn’t because no one is looking at the bundesliga, because everyone is. I’m presuming other big teams are not willing to take a punt on him.... yet. maybe he’s not quite CL level he think he is.... yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, I will make this as clear as I possibly can. PLEASE READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY. PLEASE SHOW US THE DIRECT QUOTE FROM HIM OR HIS AGENT, BEGGING FOR A MOVE TO RBL. PLEASE THEN SHOW US THE QUOTE FROM HIM OR HIS AGENT STATING THAT HE IS DESPERATE FOR CL FOOTBALL. These are the things you have stated pretty much as fact. Please don't deny that, go read back your own posts. Don't link some woolley quote saying he is interested in playing CL football, nor anything that starts "it is reported that", not "xyz understands", or anything from the Birmingham Mail. We are asking you to provide something that categorically backs up the things you have said. The reason you are getting so much kickback is not because everyone believes he is coming here, but because you have come on, lambasting everyone for believing "sources", demanding proof and them making statements of fact yourself, including repeatedly stating that he has rejected us and then failing to back them up with anything that matches what you have said. As I said before, it is fine to state these things as your opinion, but the way you have been coming in as if you are the only one that knows anything and criticising everyone, and then doubling down on it, and then mentioning Trump (FFS!) has gotten everyone's backs up. If you don't like the speculation on here in this thread, don't post in it. It is really that simple. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted August 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) We should have already moved on, if he wants to play hard to get f$*k him and move onto the next target. Ridiculous if we get held to random by a player that hasn't proven diddley squat so far. He'll come here on a too much money and he'll be looking for his next move before his feet have touched the ground. I know the transfer game ain't easy, but we should have signed somebody by now..... It's important they're here for preseason and not just waltzing through the door 5 minutes before the 1st match. That's what happened with Luiz and it took him best part of 8 months to settle and feel comfortable amongst his teammates.

He had already agreed a contract with rbl so for all we know he agreed to wait until a certain date before signing with another club so rbl could get their shit together and put forward an acceptable bid. It is looking more and more likely they won't do that and rashica doesn't seem to have any options other than us atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, I thought I was going on another lonely rant but I always try and say what I think honestly. I just can't believe we are still entertaining this transfer, it either should be done by now or we should have walked away. Who is he to reject us, even if we aren't the top team we used to be. I'm sure he'll be paid more and be in a far wider seen shop window. If he's that good he gets his move in 18 months onwards and everyone wins.

We really shouldn't have though. Players have been back in training with their clubs for only a week. If we have that attitude then we will attract no one. 2. I don't see anywhere that the club are being held to ransom on this. Players have welfares and their families along with their careers to consider in any move to any team. 3. I disagree about his wages. I don't agree with writing the player off before he has arrived unless genuine reason to do so, but there we go. What you do say will be no different to when Benteke arrived with us. 4. I don't see why we should have signed anyone significant by now? It would be ideal for pre season sure, but not the end of the world if it doesn't materialise that way. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m reading this like you think we are only going after 1 person at a time. have you not seen how many people we are linked with? Basically all the £20m left wingers there is. Im seeing it as the first one to sign wins. this one has more information to talk about. That’s about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never claimed to be going on facts, I openly admit my opinion is based on what little we know so far. I have no problem with what you are suggesting, but if anything it backs my argument that we should be looking elsewhere already and not waiting on some maybe.
